If our contemporary will refer to the pro

he seen that the minutes were not official,
hut were simply a newspaper report. If
Ute Medium had taken enough interest in
the meeting lo have n reporter present, as
the lNTKi.tionM Ki( liad, it could have pre
sented the proceedings of the stock holders
as soon as we did. Thc meeting failed to
instruct tho publication of thc minutes
anywhere, and so far as wo know the Sec
retary has not sent them lo imv paper for
publication. He would hav-' furnished
them if asked to do so, and the, Medium
must not blame thc INTKI.I.IUKSCEH for
publishing its own account of a meeting as
soon as possible, where no official account
is furnished. If tin- officers of the Compa
ny have any preference between papers we
have failed to ascertain thu fuel. As a gen
eral rule we procure our own reports from
their meetings sooner than the official re
ports arc prepared. We have said this
much in justice to all of thc parties con
cerned.

submitted tho following, which was ado
ted:
Though a number of ?lays has chipst

opportunity afforded us to do so, wc desir
in common with our people in every pa
of our country, to express our horror ai
detestation of this cruel and wicked dc?
as one in direct contravention of the Wo
of God, which teaches us that "tho pow?,
that ho nre ordained of Hod,'' und enjoi
on Christians as an essential part of th?
duty to pray for all in authority and
honor our rulers as (?od s servants, ind
one utterly subversive of the principles i
which rests tho government with whi
God has blessed us.
We ure sincerely grateful t?i God that t
life of the President has boon thusfarspan

that, with tho blessing of God, ho will

WO devoutly pray, as also for tho Nessi

Tho Secretary was instructed to forwi

Tho topics, "Unsuccessful teaching

' II I had owned rich land I wouldn't
have been worth anything."
So said one of the mc*t successful farmers
?ll Anderson countv in conversation an to
bis marked success in farming. Thc gen
tleman had accumulated a very pretty prop
erty, mostly since thc war. ?nd his good
fort mic bad e..me t.> him mainly in thc cul
tivation of poor lund. "If, with poor laud,
you have done so well what might von not
have ti.mc if yon had owned and worked
rich land, i remarked, and thc observation
?ploted above was his prompt reply. And
lhere is a great deal of sober truth in the
remark. Htart out a vonni; man in the
world bolstered with ?ill the advantages
which wealth and high birth i ?:i give him.
and loo frequently those very advantages
load to bis downfall, in this case the gen
tleman wa.? poor with nothing io lean upon
but his own indomitable will and energy,
and these very disabilities became the key
to bis success. He made a purchase of au
old wornout plantation since the war. and
by ilint of intelligent industry and frugali
ty, soon cancelled the obligation, and has
made other purchsscs spice, until lie is now
reganled as ono of our largest landholders.
Take courage y Oil nc mau, poor though you
be. Apply yourself with a will to your
chosen occupation, mid sooner or later suc
cess will crown your elforts. So, too. with
thc more favored sons of fortune, leam thc
lesson at tho .-tart that the same virtues of
sobriety, industry und frugality which was
required to accumulate thc inheritance is
equally necessary to retain h. Thus in

A Joint IMgcuiftiuu on Prohibition.
Mr.. Emmit: Having lind the pleasure
of attending a meeting lust Saturday at
Picrcetowu on thc subject of Prohibition,
I desire to give you a sketch ot thc occa
sion, though ii will be a very imperfect
one.
According to previous announcement,
Mr. Janies Mlllllkin, the oldest gentle
man in the upper part of tho county, ad
dressed a large crowd, who hail asseni
bledi al the above named place, on tho
subject of Prohibition, taking a bold
stand against it. At the outset lio sahl In
would prove that prohibition is anti
Christian : that it isontrary to tho teach
ings of the Old arti New Testaments:
and that there would be more drunken
ness under a prohibitory law than there
would bc if every niau was allowed to
make and usc just as much as he pleased
without restriction. He derived all bis
authority from the Bible. I do not re
member all of bis references, but ho re
ferred to the place whero all were invited
to come and buy "iriiie ?ixl milk" with
out money and without price, which he
claimed showell that wine bail bien
placed here for a good purpose and was
lnteiub ?I to lu- used by mai' He referred
to th.- institution of.the Lord's Supper,
where Christ said, "I will drink no more
of the fruit of thc vine until that day thal
I drink it anew in the kingdom of (?oil,"
which he said showed clearly that Chris!
anil Iiis Disciples wore in the habit ol
drinking wino. He made mention, also,
of the turning of water into wine al tlu
marriage feast, which showed that C'lirisi
rccogni/.od tho custom of tisi.ig wine on
such occasions, and which, he further ile
dared, proved, from thc amount ofwutei
changed into wine, that the Savioui
aimed to have plenty. Ho used this fuel
to prov e that there would bo less drunk,
ciniess if all wero allowed to have, maki
and Use just as much OJ they please?
without restriction. His remarks wen
somewhat tedious. Ho concluded hy
saying that he could provo his last prop
osition as well us he had proven the first
but time would not permit. His speed
wau most ingeniously arranged, am
showed great care of preparation.
After Mr. Mlllllkin was through, Kev
(L Mci?. Hogers replied, saving, with al
due respect for his venerable friend's ag;
and honest convictions, ho took ox act 1 j
tho opposite view, vi/..: that wine wa
the greatest curso ever placed on earth
and the usc of it os a Leverage is anti
Christian. lu support of his sitie ho re
ferred to the casu'if Noah, Lot, tho tw
sons of Aaron, who were Priests, sun
other passages in the Bible. Ho sititl al
though Noah was at thc timo of hi
drunkenness the only Priest, tho mil;
prophet and the only poacher of righi
ousncss oh earth, three hundred and til t
years of his life was lost to tile people i
consequence of his getting drunk ; tilt
two short verses wound up the history ?
this great man, who lived thrco hundrc
and fifty years after ho got drunk. I
tho caso of Lot, ho said, history had nove
recorded a crime of dcenor dye-it ls to
black to speak of. In the ca-so of the tw
sons of Aaron, it was shown that win
would causo tho violation of law, cn
that their lives hud paid tho drcadfi
penalty of their drunkenness. "Take
little wino for thy stomach's sako," whir
shows that it should not bo used as
beverage "A Bishop should bc a mn
not given to wine." "A Deacon shoul
not be given to much wine."
At tho close of Mr. Hogers' speed
Rev. S. I .under, of Williamston, wt
culled by thc crowd, ami responded in
very appropriate extempore speech. I
said wo must lake tho Scriptures accori
inc to their rronera) tenor,audnot accori
ing to detached sentences. That it wi
no argument to say a prohibitory la
would not bo enforced, for the luv
against murder, burglary, arson, bucen
Ac, wero not perfectly enforced. That
could not be said if wo would not troub
whiskey it would not troublo us, for li
own experience taught him Letter.
Tho discussion was very pleasant, ai
not tho least animosity was exhibite
All who spoke of lt in my presence sa

tory. C.

X Solid Argument fur Prohibition.
M EMS us. Ki nous; Sumo timo ago you
Were kimi enough to publish at my sug
gestion an extiact on thc moral pf?aso of
tho tempor?neo question, showing that
eighty-four per eent. of criuo in ono of
tho Lui ted Sutes was traceable, directly
or indirectly, nj tho uso of ardent spirits.
1 now request that you publish tho fol
lowing, that shows us tho causes of tho
heavy taxes wo have to pav. No Words of
mino aro necessary; these statement:*
and figures speak' for themselves. Let
us, as taxpayers, read and ponder them.
W. H. S.
"Taxpayers, especially farmers, often
complain (and with good reason) that
their taxes aro so burdensome. Now, it
is asserted bj* tho highest judicial author
ity of this country (and the assertion U
founded upon their experience on the
hench) that eight-tenths of all thc crluio,
criminal arrosts ami prosecutions, pov
erty and wretchedness in tho land ts
traceable to the liquor traille as its cause.
This hoi OL'so. thou this millie is tho cause
of eight-tenths ol all the costs of the
criminal arrests, incarcerations and pros
ecutions.
"Ami Inasmuch its at least ono-halt ol'
all the State, county and municipal ex
penses is caused by such arrests, inoarca
rations and prosecutions, therefore tho
State, county and municipal tuxoj aro
just double what they would hts but f>>r ihr
liquor traffic.
"Yes, taxpayers, your taxes aro just
double every year by this dumnublo
traillo in intoxicating liquors-a traille
that brings no good huta hell of woo to
the people.
"If a farmer's Stuto and county taxes
for thc year arc $20, then $10 of that
amount ho is compelled to pay to secure
thu punishment of the crimes produced
by the salo of whiskey and beer; and if
prohibition v'ure enacted and enforced
Iiis taxes would soon bo out down ono
hulf. If the owner of town property pays
annually in State, county and municipal
taxes $50, then $-."> of "that amount tho
liquor trafile compels him to pay. Tax
payers, think of these indisputable facts,
und it you uro tired of paying heavy
t-'\c-s i ute prohibition
' The State, county and municipal taxes
in Maine aro not half as high now as they
were before that Stale enacted and en
forced prohibition. Thor?" arrests for
drunkenness and assault and battery ure
almost unknown, ami tho jails, peniten
tiaries and almshouses aro almost empty.
Yes, farmers and property-owners, if
you wish low luxes vole ami help to en
